LONDON, England - Red Bull's Mark Webber and Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen will be working with new Formula 1 race engineers in 2013 after their previous engineers swapped teams.

Red Bull said Ciaron Pilbeam, who has worked with Webber since 2007, had taken a new role at Lotus while Raikkonen's 2012 race engineer, Simon Rennie, had moved in the opposite direction to team up with Webber.

Rennie was previously a race engineer with Fernando Alonso at Renault, the team that is now Lotus, and worked with injured driver Robert Kubica.
